Whistleblower & Disclosures
Protect the people who speak up.
The Aged Care Act 2024 provides strong protections for people who disclose wrongdoing in aged care. Statura Care’s Whistleblower module provides a secure, confidential system for receiving, investigating, and tracking protected disclosures — with strict access controls that ensure discloser identity is only visible to designated eligible recipients.
The Challenge
Whistleblower protections are meaningless if the system doesn’t enforce them. If anyone in the organisation can see who made a disclosure, the protection is compromised. You need a system that restricts discloser identity to eligible recipients only, provides an anonymous reporting channel, and monitors for reprisal.
Key Capabilities
What the Whistleblower & Disclosures module does.
Confidential Disclosure Register
A secure register of all protected disclosures with strict identity protections. Discloser identity fields are only visible to designated eligible recipients — all other users see the disclosure content but never who made it.
Anonymous Reporting Portal
A public-facing portal where anyone can submit a disclosure anonymously. Disclosers receive a unique reference number to check the status without revealing their identity.
Eligible Recipient Access Control
Discloser identity is restricted to designated eligible recipients (typically compliance officer, CEO, board chair). Every access to confidential identity fields is logged.
Investigation Management
Structured investigation: assign an investigator (who is not the subject), set terms of reference, gather evidence, document findings, and recommend actions with procedural fairness.
Discloser Protection Monitoring
After a disclosure, actively monitor the discloser (if known) for potential reprisal. Track employment changes, schedule regular check-ins, and record any concerns.
Policy & Acknowledgment Management
Maintain your whistleblower policy with version control, track distribution to staff, and record acknowledgements. Annual policy review reminders ensure your policy stays current.

Better together.
When modules work together, intelligence compounds. Whistleblower & Disclosures integrates with these modules for a complete compliance picture.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who can see the identity of a discloser?
Only designated eligible recipients — typically the compliance officer, CEO, and board chair. Discloser identity fields are restricted at the system level, and every access to confidential identity fields is logged in the audit trail. All other users can see the disclosure content but never who made it.
Can people report anonymously?
Yes. The anonymous reporting portal lets anyone submit a disclosure without providing their identity. They receive a unique reference number to check the status of their disclosure without revealing who they are.
How does the module protect disclosers from reprisal?
After a disclosure is lodged, the system actively monitors the discloser (if known) for potential reprisal — tracking employment changes, scheduling regular check-ins, and recording any concerns. This creates documented evidence that the provider took its no-reprisal obligation seriously.
